Kavitha,
If you apply the proper URIs, and then apply fixes to the mappings (from
prior suggestions) we are set. You can send me another dump and I will
go one step further and put some sample SPARQL queries together which
demonstrate how we can have many world views on the Web of Linked Data
without anyone getting hurt in the process :-)
